I didn't realize that Obama was brought to Chicago law by Michael McConnell, the UU prof and federal judge and one of the more prominent conservatives in the legal world.

This is a good read of Obama's time as a law prof. One interesting fact brought up is that Obama was offered tenure in 2000 at U Chicago without ever publishing.
